SCC Requirements and Guidance for the Accreditation Of Testing and Calibration Laboratories Performing On-Site Testing and Calibrations

The document “SCC Requirements and Guidance for the Accreditation Of Testing and Calibration Laboratories Performing On-Site Testing and Calibrations” replaces CAN-P-1632:2010 - Requirements for the Accreditation of Testing and Calibrations Laboratories Performing On-Site Testing and Calibrations.

This policy applies to testing or calibrations performed outside of a laboratory's permanent premises, for example at a client’s premises or in the field. It does not apply to other permanent facilities that a laboratory or organization may possess such as those outlined in the SCC Policy on Group Accreditation (Accreditation Program Overview, Appendix F, Section 5). When the other facility is its own legal entity, it will require a separate accreditation with SCC.
